Mockingly, Fu Shiwu continued, "Unless you learn the terror of metal abilities, you won't understand their greatness! You feeble, incompetent bunch! In this world, anything metallic is powerless against someone who can control it like me!"
Suddenly realizing Tang Xuhai's disobedient steel armor and the unyielding sword in his hand, Fu Shiwu begrudgingly thought: Except for those!
Olande and Wang Dan's guns escaped his control, flying out of their hands, overpowering Li Jixian's grip on his gun.
The guns held in their hands remained suspended in midair, slowly turning towards their original owners.
"Feeling threatened by your own weapons?" Fu Shiwu sneered. With his control, the gun barrel in front of Li Jixian twisted and deformed, resembling an odd shape as if twisted by a colossal hand. "See? These guns are worthless in front of me, yet you dare wield them!"
Li Jixian's eyes flashed. Swiftly, he lunged towards the ground.
As he moved, Wang Dan and Olande agilely dodged the threatening gun barrels, finding cover.
As the situation shifted, others swiftly followed Wang Dan and Olande, seeking refuge.
The twisted gun barrel whizzed towards Li Jixian, who tilted his head like he had an extra pair of eyes on the back of his head, bizarrely contorting to evade the gun flying past him.
Fu Shiwu thought it was luck until the other two guns changed direction towards Li Jixian.
Li Jixian braced himself against the ground and dashed away from the concrete blocks on the ground.
"Seeking death! How foolish." Fu Shiwu's grimace revealed, controlling the guns aimed at Li Jixian.
An open space was more advantageous for him!
"Swish - Swish - Swish -"
Bullets chased Li Jixian, their heads spinning rapidly, grazing past his body.
Fu Shiwu grew increasingly uneasy. Dodging a few bullets could be attributed to luck or coincidence, but continuous evasion couldn't be mere chance. If Li Jixian had made exaggerated movements or showed more distress, he might have been less unsettled, but Li Jixian barely moved, as if the bullets naturally avoided him!
When the bullets in the gun were depleted, Fu Shiwu's face turned dark with worry.
Each and every one of them… Are they mocking me like this?!
"I have to—I have to kill you!!" Fu Shiwu wildly swung his arms, controlling the metal shards around him to barrage Li Jixian.
But unexpectedly, Li Jixian, who had been facing away, suddenly turned around, wearing an indifferent expression.
Fu Shiwu grew furious. Wasn't this underestimating him? Did they think his shards were not as powerful as the bullets?!
And that's precisely what Li Jixian thought!
Amidst the bullets' swift movement, Li Jixian could only gauge their trajectories just before they left the gun's muzzle, finding spaces to dodge within the nearly forbidden scene.
No matter how arrogant Fu Shiwu was, he couldn't precisely control every shard; he could only manipulate their overall angles.
This flaw allowed Li Jixian to find a gap, identifying a path amid the flying metal shards directly towards Fu Shiwu.
Stepping confidently, Li Jixian swiftly approached, grabbing a shard of glass that had been picked up when he touched the ground, slashing it viciously towards Fu Shiwu's neck!
"This... can't be..." Fu Shiwu stared in disbelief at Li Jixian's cold face, slowly lowering his hand. Blood dripped from the cuts caused by the sharp glass, leaving crimson marks on the ground.
A clang of metal hitting the ground sounded, leaving Feng Zhuoming unwilling to die.
Fu Shiwu finally dared to take a deep breath; everything that just happened was too quick, too intense.
His mysterious behavior left the lackeys beside Shi Zheng stunned, their hands trembling with the guns they held.
Since bullets couldn't hit him, then they didn't need guns. After all, he was just an ordinary person, right?!
One of the unbelieving lackeys dropped the gun and lunged at Fu Shiwu. Getting rid of this guy would surely earn them the boss's favor!
Wang Dan kicked up, planting both legs on the lackey's waist. Her legs, well-defined, tightly squeezed his neck and twisted fiercely.
With a crisp cracking sound, the lackey fell, and Wang Dan gracefully landed. She picked up the discarded gun, walking a few steps toward Fu Shiwu.
Fu Shiwu, gazing at the striking and valiant female combat coach, said, "Thank you."
With a confident smile, Wang Dan earnestly handed the gun to Fu Shiwu.
Fu Shiwu's hands, as if acting on their own, quickly opened the magazine to check the bullets inside and pushed it back in.
"I'll go help Xuhai; you take care of these people," Fu Shiwu said solemnly.
Wang Dan nodded. "Go ahead, I'll handle this."
Several roadside lights were wrecked when Feng Zhuoming pulled the metal material earlier, leaving only distant searchlights casting a faint glow, preventing complete darkness.
Wang Dan watched Fu Shiwu's departing figure, then turned and rushed toward a few bewildered people.
Liu Zhao and Wu Shan also left their hiding spots; they weren't afraid of the mutants' clash; it seemed.
Tang Xuhai was locked in a tough battle near the green area of the building block. Although Shi Zheng lacked skills, his raw strength was demonstrated remarkably, handling ten opponents effortlessly.
Swinging the thick tree trunk in his hand fiercely, Tang Xuhai couldn't get close at all.
Tang Xuhai had tried to counter him, but his right hand, trembling uncontrollably, almost couldn't grip the huge sword.
Helplessly, Tang Xuhai ended up moving as if directed by a conductor, following Shi Zheng's movements.
"Hahaha! Tang Xuhai, is this all you've got? Useless!" Shi Zheng laughed heartily.
Tang Xuhai gritted his teeth in anger but was helpless. Just then, Fu Shiwu suddenly appeared and fired a few shots almost without pause.
Shi Zheng was startled, swiftly swinging the tree trunk in his hand. "Puff, puff, puff," a few bullets hit the trunk, but one viciously struck Shi Zheng's body.
The strength-type mutants' resilience was tremendous; tough skin resisted the bullet's energy, and firm muscles jammed the bullet.
Shi Zheng glared menacingly at Fu Shiwu, who was caught off guard by the result.
Enraged, Shi Zheng lifted the stout tree trunk and hurled it at Fu Shiwu.
Tang Xuhai panicked; Shi Zheng was attacking Fu Shiwu. Though it gave him a chance to attack, he couldn't ignore Fu Shiwu.
He twisted and ran over, grabbing Fu Shiwu and rolling them both to the ground, narrowly avoiding the giant tree top brushing past them.
Tang Xuhai's sturdy chest pressed against Fu Shiwu's, making it hard for him to breathe.
Without wasting time, Tang Xuhai rolled off Fu Shiwu and pulled him up.
"You can't help; Shi Zheng's muscle strength and reinforced bones are too formidable unless you hit his eyes," Tang Xuhai said, eyes fixed on Shi Zheng, who was again lifting a large tree trunk, pitting one hole after another in the green area. "But his vigilance is strong; you won't get a chance."
Fu Shiwu realized this; firearms were effective against aliens but fell short against a variety of mutants.
Regretfully, Fu Shiwu found himself unable to be of much help and had to step back.
On Wang Dan's end, after dealing with Shi Zheng's followers, a large group of people suddenly ran over from afar. Among them were mutants and ability-users, called by the lackeys who fled sensing danger.
The one at the front, looking furious at them, said, "What are you doing? Attacking both inside and out? This is unacceptable! When did you start causing trouble here! Do you want to exterminate humanity?!"
Liu Zhao and his companions were instantly speechless. True, their escape plan relied on the aliens' attack to initiate, but with this person accusing them, they felt unjustly targeted.
The girl rescued by Fu Shiwu laughed angrily. "Stop using these fancy words! I'd rather be eaten by aliens than be associated with you filthy creatures!"
The man noticed her, pupils narrowing, murmuring, "It's you!"
"It's me!" the girl said hatefully. "Stop acting self-righteous here! Do you have the qualifications? You, the rapist! Today, I'll kill you for my classmate's sake!!!"
After saying this, the girl took a deep breath, unleashing a loud, piercing howl that pierced the sky.
The man's face changed; he looked panicked. "Quickly, kill her! Her sonic attack is powerful!"
This time, the girl didn't use a targeted attack but a sweeping one. Although it only slowed them down and didn't cause much damage, this delay was enough to prevent them from using their abilities!
Thinking it was over, Liu Zhao quickly lifted the gun he had picked up from the lackey.
Olande acted even faster, accustomed to a country where owning firearms was legal, his marksmanship not much inferior to archery.
He managed to take down over a dozen people, but there were too many opponents, and they broke free from the girl's influence, looking grim.
At that moment, Horn Ting, who had been inactive, suddenly acted. He spread his palm, veins bulging. "Ahhh!!!"
After a roar, a powerful water jet continuously shot from his palm!
The opposing group couldn't anticipate that within such a short time, Horn Ting, who had exhausted his water supply, would still produce water jets. They were left with bleeding holes all over.
Miao Jia looked astonished. "How can you still use your water-based ability?"
Horn Ting's complexion paled. "It's forced out. Although the water's exhausted, I recovered a bit during that time. It was my limit just now."
Horn Ting's sudden burst completely tilted the victory in their favor, and the wall couldn't send more people to deal with them.
The girl's eyes flashed, running toward the direction of the battle between Shi Zheng, Tang Xuhai, and Fu Shiwu!
